ORLANDO - A witness we haven't heard from before paints a much different picture than we've seen so far of what happened the night 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot and killed.

The night of that shooting, police say there was a witness who saw it all.

But one man’s testimony could be key for the police.
“The guy on the bottom who had a red sweater on was yelling to me: ‘help, help…and I told him to stop and I was calling 911,” he said.

Trayvon Martin was in a hoodie; Zimmerman was in red.
The witness only wanted to be identified as “John,” and didn’t not want to be shown on camera.

His statements to police were instrumental, because police backed up Zimmerman’s claims, saying those screams on the 911 call are those of Zimmerman.

The description in the article is poorly written but it seems this is what the headline is referring:

"When I got upstairs and looked down, the guy who was on top beating up the other guy, was the one laying in the grass, and I believe he was dead at that point," John said.

In other words, the witness said the guy (Martin) he saw first attacked then when he looked back, he was the one on the ground shot. It is pretty badly written.

I don’t doubt the extreme left desperately wants the Grand Jury to return a no bill (filing no charges against Zimmerman). This gives them their riots.

Until Holder can make arrangement’s for that witness - even he will not touch Zimmerman.

That witness has a very short life left.

This has been public for days.

And the cops knew LOOOOOOOOOONG ago.

Now the media will lie - and position this as “new testimony”. Watch the lieing continue.

Boy howdy. I’m aghast, and I’m not kidding. We all know the media is biased, and what not, but I’ve never seen anything quite like this.

The question is, where do they go from here? The police and other authorities have been hanging back, and it is they that hold all the facts. Where is this whirlwind going to go without them?

I noticed that too. The comments under the source article are full of people saying “oh wow, maybe I was wrong” as if this just came out.

Is this MSM walking this back?

The ugliness in Sanford, where one of its sons died, is over. The ugliness here on this forum continues. I won’t list the names I have been called in the past 24 hours for merely suggesting that Mr Zimmerman’s report is not “facts” and that as a interested party he is not entirely reliable as a witness. You know well those epithets from the semi-literats who don’t know the difference between “its” and “it’s”, and “your” and “you’re”. I now have reasons to fear for my life myself having read threats from various gun enthusiasts typing them and insults on this forum.

I don’t know any of the facts in this thing
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
About the only REAL fact I am aware of is “Zimmerman must be a Dem or Lib” otherwise they would be saying Republican every time Z’s name was mentioned.

Also, by the time the Police come up with the cell phone that has the kid saying “Hold on, let me double back and whip this crackers ass” ‘they’ will say it was made up.

Too bad Zimmerman was not a Muslim.

No one anywhere in the world would have heard a single word about this. And if they did, Zimmerman would have been referred to in a non-Muslim way, like Asian, or Youth.

These are the favorite code words the media uses to hide Muslims when they wind up in the news.

But if you are White or Christian or Republican...they will hire an airplane to write it in the sky. No bias there...of course not.

The media has already proven that an Hispanic with Black relatives can become a White Christian Republican any time he wants. All he has to do is shoot a Black guy and 'bingo' he's White. Amazing.

Maybe.

It fell apart when the non Soros owned media released the picture of the white ,born again ,Christian from Iowa- George Zimmerman.

I don't see where the information in the article supports the assertion in the headline. The headline implies that Martin initiated the assault, but the content of the article does not say that.

The headline infers Martin initiated the assault, while the witness' statement -- or what we saw of it -- doesn't support such a claim.

But, somehow, I doubt the 5-9 Zimmerman (who looks a little on the pudgy side in his photo) would've initiated an assault on the 6-2, 200 Martin.

I don't now that, of course. But it seems a reasonable working assumption.
